What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Little Richard's debut album, 1957's Here's Little Richard?! We finally delve into the 1950s by talking about the oldest album we've ranked yet.

NEW EPISODE UP! What’s your most loved and least favorite song on Depeche Mode's Memento Mori album?! We were prepping to take a year off but Sam's suggestion to rank DM's latest before it was even released was too tempting to not do ASAP. It still took us weeks to record and almost a year to release but it's fun to hear our fresh reactions. Even more fun is finally recording recollections of decades of memories of one of our favorite bands of all-time since we hadn't started a podcast when we ranked Black Celebration a few years ago.

Adam came up with a fun way to finally talk about our namesake song: kicking off a four-episode series of Greatest Hits episodes! You’ll never guess where we ranked WWRY. It's only the best-selling album in UK history. You've probably never heard of it. Shockingly, none of us are huge fans, despite having so many fun stories and opinions that this became our longest show to date! One of us even needed to be reminded that they worked for Queen’s record label. Three of us went to high school with guest ranker Ken Dow, who shared his amazing Queen For A Day tale with us.

Three months before some very strange things catapulted Miss Bush into a new generation's consciousness, Sam had us sit down to dissect an album that most purists wouldn't dare break into separate parts. While Adam went overboard (groan) researching the second side's epic Ninth Wave song story, newbies Dan and Jim obliviously took it in like men with children in their eyes...or something. Guest rankers include keyboard guru and Abbey Road expert Brian Kehew (Moog Cookbook, The Who, Prince and more) and San Diego Music Award winner Marie Haddad from the world's greatest coverband, Baby Bushka.

Big Star - #1 Record ranked Request Episode

What are your most favorite and least-loved songs on Big Star's #1 Record? Gee, no power pop nerds are going to have an opinion on this one. Memphis' finest 1972 export got the most votes in our second request election, thanks to a nomination by painter William Feuer. This episode has wide-eyed virginal opinions from Jim, who loves many of the groups famously influenced by this record but had never heard it plus a ton of fun uberfan Adam tales from Elliott Smith requests to one-off Big Star tribute nights plus the usual eloquent ramblings of Dan and Sam. A must-listen for fans of Indian songs. Hear it at WeWillRankYouPod.com, Apple, Spotify and your local Big Star grocery store.

SURPRISE BONUS BIRTHDAY EPISODE!  So sorry about our nine month extended hiatus remix, folks. We've been slowly getting together remotely to record a grip of new episodes and finally digging in to edit and share them with you. We can't wait for you to hear new shows about indie queens, the soundtrack of our childhood, epic 80s classics, our first-ever top five themed episode and MUCH more. As a fun bonus, we'd like to share something the other hosts surprised Adam with for his 50th birthday last September: Sam, Jim and Dan counting down their favorite songs that relate to….Adam. Too interesting, fun and funny to not share.  We'll have new proper album ranking episodes soon but for now, happy half-birthday, Adam!

What are the best and worst songs on Radiohead's OK Computer? Between the four of us, we've witnessed quite a few memorable shows of theirs and were affected by this album in all kinds of interesting ways. By far our longest and most heartfelt episode to date. Just too much to say!  All seven of the albums we've ranked previously were from the 80s, so it's nice to finally march out into another decade, though our British streak continues with Dan's pick. Please tell us how YOU would rank tonight's tunes on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter  @wewillrankyoupod !

FILE UNDER/SPOILERS:
"Airbag", Thom Yorke, "Paranoid Android", rampant consumerism, "Subterranean Homesick Alien", Oxford, "Exit Music (For a Film)", Jonny Greenwood, "Let Down", alternative rock, "Karma Police", social alienation, "Fitter Happier", Phil Selway, art rock, "Electioneering", emotional isolation, Ed O'Brien, "Climbing Up the Walls", progressive rock, Nigel Godrich, England, "No Surprises", Colin Greenwood, "Lucky", political malaise, "The Tourist", 1997.
